Series of three webinars on challenges of inclusion in higher education | Third webinar
27 January, 2022 hora: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
UNESCO IESALC will hold a cycle of three webinars on inclusion challenges in higher education. Its purpose is to promote analysis and shared reflection on the transformations that university institutions must undergo in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
In the webinars, experts and interested groups will identify the main barriers, challenges and opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean in terms of university inclusion. They will also share significant experiences, such as good practices for overcoming the challenges that inclusion presents as a continuous process linked to access, learning and participation of all social groups in equal opportunities.
The webinars will be held on Thursday, January 13, 20 and 27 from 10:00 to 12:00 (GMT -4, Caracas) through the Zoom platform. Webinar in Spanish with sign language interpretation.
